| African Mosaic Quilt Kit™ |
 |
Recreate the popular
quilt project shown in African
Accents! The kit includes over 200 - 2"
African print squares (all 100% cotton), one yard of Quilt
Fuse pre-printed 2" fusible grid for easy layout and
assembly, plus instructions, creative tips and ideas for a
variety of projects.
Perfect for beginners and experienced
quilters of all ages. |
| "Watercolor
quilting—with a COLORFUL twist!" |
The kit combines the fun and ease of watercolor quilting with
the visual excitement of authentic African cotton prints! By
carefully arranging the 2" squares so that one color
range flows gracefully into the next, you can create an
artistic, mosaic-style quilt. |
Traditionally, the "watercolor quilting" technique
employs soft pastels, florals, calico prints and muted tones
that, when sorted into lights, mediums and darks, create the
effect of an Impressionist painting. Instead, the African
Mosaic Quilt Kit features the stronger, brighter colors and
patterns found in the imported cottons, for a completely
different take on this popular quilting method. The effect is
fresh and dramatic, with prints imported from the West African
countries of Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast and Ghana. |

Quilters are encouraged to add non-African fabrics from their
existing stashes as fillers and transition fabrics, assuring a
truly unique result with every project. Suggested fabrics
include batiks, iridescent, marbled and hand-dyed cottons,
mudcloth, faux suede, basic quilt fabrics, velvets and raw
silks. A variety of textures adds to the drama of the finished
project.
The kit was developed by Lisa
Shepard, author of African
Accents: Fabrics and Crafts to Decorate Your Home.
Her first mosaic-style wall hanging is one of over 40 home dec
projects featured in the book. During lectures, classes and
trade shows, it became clear that a pre-cut kit would be
welcomed by quilting and craft enthusiasts who couldn't find
the variety of African fabrics needed to recreate the project
in African Accents.
